A method for selecting a detail for a surroundings detection by a sensor based on sensor data. The surroundings are detected by at least one additional sensor, and an object recognition is carried out based on the ascertained sensor data of the at least one additional sensor. Pieces of position information from at least one recognized object are transformed into a coordinate system of the sensor, based on the object recognition, and based on the transformed pieces of position information, the sensor uses a detail of a scanning area for the surroundings detection, or an image detail from already detected sensor data, for an evaluation. A control device is also described.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the sensor uses at least one image detail from the already detected sensor data for the evaluation, based on transformed pieces of position information from multiple additional sensors.
3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the transformation of the pieces of position information is carried out by a central control unit or by a sensor control unit.
4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the transformation of the pieces of position information is carried out by the additional sensor, direct communication links being established between the sensor and the additional sensor.
5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the pieces of position information of the at least one object, provided by the at least one sensor, are changed over time for tracking the at least one object.
6. The method as recited in claim 5, wherein a temporally variable adaptation of the pieces of position information of the at least one object is continued outside a scanning area of the at least one additional sensor.
7. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the at least one image detail of the detected sensor data of the sensor that is used for the evaluation is selected based on additional sensor data of a position sensor and data of a map.
8. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the at least one image detail of the detected sensor data of the sensor that is used for the evaluation is selected based on position data of at least one road user, the position data of the at least one road user being transmitted via a direct or indirect communication link.
9. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the at least one image detail of the detected sensor data of the sensor is selected by an artificial intelligence.
10. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the evaluation carried out by the sensor is used for a plausibility check of the object recognition of the at least one additional sensor.
11. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein the plausibility check is carried out via a request from at least one sensor.
12. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein selection of the object from the image data of the sensor takes place by analyzing only the relevant image detail from a sensor scan.
14. The control unit as recited in claim 13, wherein selection of the object from the image data of the sensor takes place by analyzing only the relevant image detail from a sensor scan.
